The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Operations WG (v6ops) to consider the following document: - 'A Discard Prefix for IPv6' <draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-discard-prefix-02.txt> as an Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-01-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Remote triggered black hole filtering describes a method of militating against denial-of-service attacks by selectively discarding traffic based on source or destination address. Remote triggered black hole routing describes a method of selectively re- routing traffic into a sinkhole router (for further analysis) based on destination address. This document updates RFC5156 by explaining why a unique IPv6 prefix should be formally assigned by IANA for the purpose of facilitating IPv6 remote triggered black hole filtering and routing. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-discard-prefix/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-discard-prefix/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
